Reading this record
The practice bills under the legal name Procision Vision, LLC and registered Apex Eyecare as its trading name, so an insurance statement may show a name that does not match the sign on the door. The entry was last refreshed in December 2023. That is neither fresh nor ancient by the standards of this metro, where 121 of 532 records were updated in 2024 or later and 262 predate 2020.
For local context: Tampa holds 154 registered eye care practices in this snapshot, 111 of them optometry and 43 ophthalmology, in ZIP codes including 33625. 133 of them took an NPI before this practice did. The closest is Network Eye Care (Fl) PLLC in Tampa, 0.2 miles away.
None of this is a licensing check. CMS issues an NPI so a provider can be identified in billing transactions, and states plainly that issuance does not ensure or validate that the holder is licensed or credentialed. The Florida boards hold the licensing record, and the practice itself is the only source for what it charges today.

What to expect to pay at an optometry practice like this
The NPI registry holds no prices, so nothing here is a quote from Apex Eyecare. Based on this site's own price research, an independent optometry practice typically charges $120 to $200 for an exam without insurance, against a national average of about $136 and roughly $25 once a vision plan pays its share.
Ask two things when you call: whether the quoted fee includes the refraction, and what a contact lens fitting adds if you wear lenses, since that takes a visit to $150 to $370. A comprehensive exam is $100 to $250. If price is the deciding factor, the 532 practices on the Tampa-St. Petersburg-Clearwater page give you the full local field to call around.
